SLL's All-Request Friday Night: Episode 1 - Snoopy Go Home

It's the Return of the Revenge of SLL's All-Request Saturday Night!

The All-Request is once again dragged out of the mothballs and retrofitted into a podcast! Join me and my guests Emil Jay (@TheEmilJay) and good ol' Sam (@concrete1992) on the inaugural voyage through four matches running the gamut of what wrestling can be. Join us as we explore Emil's burning hatred of Monterrey TV buffoon Snoopy, our collective bafflement over Konan Big, Tommy Rich throwin' hands (but not lashes), star rating ridiculousness, the bottom shelf talents of Steel Gladiator, CCW's seedy ring announcer, ethnic headstrikes, an all-time Flair performance, an all-time Heenan performance, the all-time Rumble entrance, the all-time Rumble facial expression, the all-time Slaughter bump, Boss Man flying across the ring, the weirdness of battle royale selling, Jake Roberts being awesome, Slammin' Ladies, the decline and fall of Saturday morning and weekday afternoon cartoons, and the horrible truth about alleged babyface Hulk Hogan. The banter is fierce. The takes are hot. Sam says the m-word. It's everything you ever dreamed of!

Featuring...

Hator, Jerry, Mario Bezares, Snoopy, Super Parka, Vudu vs Konnan Big


The Nightmares vs. Tommy & Johnny Rich (Loser Gets 20 Lashes)


Rocky Johnson vs. Destroyin' Samoan


Plus the 1992 Royal Rumble match!

A Re-Introduction

Hi. I'm Steven Louis Lerner, and I used to write about wrestling a lot. Like, a lot. You ask people who knew me back in the day, I was Mr. TL;DR. I was the most long-winded bastard you ever did see. I guess my words at least had some worth to some people, and I certainly enjoyed pontificating on wrestling. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't. And believe me...I did it.

And then, at some point early this decade, I just kinda stopped. I mean, I never totally went away. I had long disappearances from the scene that coincided with health issues, but I always sorta hung around. I don't know if something about me changed, or something about you changed, or something about us changed, but things definitely weren't the same.

But I want you to know that no matter what's changed, I want to make it work. Because the love is still there, and the love is still real. Maybe...maybe, time was I got too hung up on personal frustrations. Maybe I got too worried by silly things like self-imposed project deadlines...or whether or not Parv was being too much of a killjoy on the boards...and I forgot about the love.

Maybe it's not too late.

That's why I'm here, baby. To free myself of the chains of agony I've wrapped my mind in these last few years, and feel your ecstasy once more. I'm down on my knees, and I know I can't prove that I'm the best man, but I sure as hell can prove I'm your man. So I wanna ask you one more time....

....do you wanna ride inside my love of professional wrestling?
